Come Dream with Dayton Oaks Camp
The Dayton Oaks Ministry Team has begun to dream about the future of the camp
and would like to invite anyone who is interested to join us in this process.
If you have architecture or marketing skills, we especially need your help. 
If you would like to be a part of helping to shape the camp's future,
please contact Camp Manager 
Matt Siebert 




There’s still time to donate to our #100daystoraise fundraiser.  We are raising money for the Dayton Oaks summer camp ministry.  The donations have slowed down, and we only have until May 11th to meet our goal of $8,000.  When we meet our goal Matt will be dying his hair a different color. Personally, I’m rooting for green since it’s my favorite color--LOL!  Help Dayton Oaks change lives at camp & also change Matt’s hair color.  Here are over 5 minutes of #100days blooper video for you to enjoy for your donations. 
Thanks everyone for supporting God’s ministry here at Dayton Oaks!
